how to compile the refblas as a shared library (dynamically linked library)

I tried the following method but failed, anyone knows why?
BTW, I successfully compiled lapack as a shared library use a similar
procedure

In make.inc, I added
NOOPT = -fPIC

In Makefile, I appended libblas.so to the "all:..." (line 58)
all: $(BLASLIB) libblas.so
and right below the part

$(BLASLIB): $(ALLOBJ)
$(ARCH) $(ARCHFLAGS) $@ $(ALLOBJ)
$(RANLIB) $@

I added:
libblas.so: $(ALLOBJ)
cc -shared -Wl,-soname,libblas.so -o libblas.so $(ALLOBJ)

but I got following error messages:

I hope get some hint here,
thanks in advance

Xiaoyong,
it works fine for me if you change

Code: Select all

libblas.so: $(ALLOBJ)
cc -shared -Wl,-soname,libblas.so -o libblas.so $(ALLOBJ)

in

Code: Select all

 libblas.so: $(ALLOBJ)
cc -shared -Wl,-soname,libblas.so -o libblas.so *.o

I also added -fPIC also to OPTS.

You problem is that the ALLOBJ variable contains several times the same object. ALLOBJ is a composition of different variables that sometimes have a same object in commun. If you look into the Makefile, you see that isamax is in blas1 and in cbaux1.

When a static library is created, that does not cause any problem, but it does with a shared library.

Anyway you point out something that needs to be corrected.
Thank you
Julie

I also added -fPIC to OPTS, but forget to write it in the above post.

I guess you are right,
the problem is caused by containing the same obj file multiple times.

thanks
